researching for best hotel in Kauai

booking.con

This was a 5 star hotel and experience! The food was excellent - especially Welina Terrace. It felt like an experience to be here, but just a hotel stay.

The only time we had poor service was the two times we went to 1Kitchen. We had the same waitress both times and she hardly tended to our table.

Outstanding views, great pool, restaurant, bar and beach.

The room was big, nice bathroom, comfortable bed. Just A bit old, musty smell in the halls and the room. Parking was not included (35 dollars per night). Overall, I would have expected more for that price.

The view is unbelievable. I don't think you could find a comparable one in all of Hawaii. We had a VIP manager, Robert, who texted us and kept us abreast of the things that we were offered as part of the hotel. It was very nice to have someone at all hours to text and ask for something.

The building was a little outdated. I heard from one of the staff members that it is going to be renovated in May of this year though, so that will be an improvement. The food also wasn't stellar for the price.

I loved the morning yoga, that was one of my highlights for sure, the teachers were great, the yoga space, views, ambience was the best, such a great way to start the day!! I loved the pool area, gorgeous views and beach. Lots of things to see within walking distance, or a short drive. The service was excellent everywhere, from poolside to checkin to valet and more. The pool was wonderful. The views were inspiring! We loved our stay!

The yoga was top knotch!!! But the only criticism I have is that the mats were kind of sweaty smelling, they should wipe them down with a nice essential oil cleaner! My only other critique is that I would rather see ocean-friendly straws instead of plastic. Save the turtles!
